Jonathan Jiang: what is your setting for these preferences?
  Account Settings|Server Settings
   [] Check for new messages at startup
   [] Check for new messages ever ____ minutes
   [] Automatically download new messages

I see a very similar situation, but not on startup.  I do not have Mozilla keep 
my passwords (for 3 POP accounts) saved.  For me, the problem occurs as follows:
 - Start Mozilla Mail/News while not connected to network (not dialed up).
 - All accounts time out without accessing server (and so Moz never asks for any 
password)
 - After dialing up, Mozilla does not attempt to check accounts automatically, 
nor does it check any of the individual accounts if I click "Get All New 
Messages."

I have all three of those preference checked, with a 10 minute check.

I've done a little more research; the symptom I am talking about is Bug 125328.  
I believe this bug is a dupe, unless you really are seeing a problem at startup 
with messages not being checked at all until Get Message is selected for an 
individual account with the "Check for new messages at startup" preference set.
